2. Heat-shrinkable sleeve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrinkable_sleeve

   A heat-shrinkable sleeve starts out with a thick extruded poly olefin sheet (polyethylene or polypropylene) that is formulated to be cross-linkable. After extruding the thick sheet, it is taken to the "beam" where it is passed under a unit that subjects the sheet to electron irradiation. [2] The irradiation process cross-links the polyolefin.

   The prepared substrate is then placed adhesive side down over the textile and covered with absorbent blotting paper that is pinned or weighted. Methods of affixing the adhesive support to the textile artifact include spatula or flat iron, vacuum hot table, vacuum cold-lining, solvent activation, and direct wet or semi-dry application.

7. Vinyl coated polyester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_coated_polyester

   Vinyl coated polyester is a material frequently used for flexible fabric structures. It is made up of a polyester scrim , a bonding or adhesive agent, and an exterior PVC coating. The scrim supports the coating (which is initially applied in liquid form) and provides the tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and dimensional stability of ...
